Terms and conditions

Updated September 24, 2026.

What this site provides

Chimney Sweep Guide provides educational content, location browsing, company search and homeowner recordkeeping tools. We do not perform chimney work, inspect properties or enter a service contract on your behalf.

Searching and contacting companies

Search filters use recorded location and service fields. A match does not establish that a company serves your address, handles your appliance or has current availability. Phone, email and website links let you contact the company directly. Confirm identity, relevant qualifications, insurance and written scope before hiring. Agreements, payments and appointments are made with the provider.

Records and editorial content

Records can be incomplete or outdated. Source verification is attributed to the directory source, not an independent qualification check by this site. Educational material cannot establish what is required at your property. See the directory and safety disclaimer for the limits of profiles, imagery and scenarios.

Your saved work

The passport and quote comparison use browser storage when you choose to save. You can restore compatible data, download, print or clear it. Browser settings, device changes or clearing storage can remove saved material. Keep a separate copy of important records. Clearing the tool does not delete downloads or printed copies. Avoid retaining private information on a shared device.

Result order and service arrangements

The search interface offers location, name and record-update sorting. Position is not a recommendation or quality ranking. This interface does not sell a chimney service, accept a service deposit or operate a lead-submission form. Any future commercial placement or referral feature should identify its role clearly before introduction.

Responsible use and external sites

Use the site for lawful research and personal planning. Do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access or misrepresent its content as your own inspection findings. External sources and company sites have their own content and terms. Verify important information at its source.

Privacy, corrections and updates

The privacy policy explains storage and correspondence. Send errors or questions to email@chimneysweepguide.com. These terms may change as the service changes; the date above identifies this version.
